It’s been a while since I tried anything from Revolution Beauty (I’m a sucker for their eyeshadow palettes!) but I decided to treat myself to their Fast Base Stick Foundation and it’s a must-have for anyone looking for a 5-minute natural makeup look (as long as you don’t have oily skin).

Revolution Beauty Fast Base Stick Foundation
This foundation stick retails for $12CAD and comes in only 8 shades – sadly, not a great selection. The shade I selected is F1; a perfect pale neutral for my fair complexion.
Fantastically easy to blend, Fast Base applies best when buffed in gently with a foundation brush and gives my skin a natural, satin finish.
Coverage wise, it’s on the lighter end of the spectrum, but a couple pats with my Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer covers up any bits that I feel need the extra camouflage.
This stick has a creamy-soft consistency and is totally odourless, so no nasty paint-like smells or floral scents to worry about.
I also appreciate that it doesn’t settle into my fine lines or cake up during the day once I set it with my RCMA No-Color Powder (although if I didn’t set it with powder, I think things would go very differently).
I’ve noticed that Fast Base can sometimes bring out my larger pores, but a good pore filling primer nixes that issue for me.
My skin runs a touch oily as the day progresses, but I don’t find this foundation to add to my natural shine or get overly greasy after being set; quite the opposite – I love the dewy, glowing look I get with it by the day’s end, although I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to use it during the hot, summer months without being a greasy mess after a few hours.
Overall, if you’re looking for a budget friendly, fast applying and natural looking foundation, the Revolution Beauty Fast Base Stick is a good option. I’m currently considering grabbing a darker shade to use as a cream contour.
